Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

A New Journey The Names of God in The Scriptures

Genesis 1:1

In the Beginning, God Created the Heavens and the Earth.

Genesis 1:1 is the first Bible verse of the first chapter in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible. The verse opens the Genesis creation narrative in Hebrew with: בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָֽרֶץ (Bereishit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'aretz). Translated into English it reads: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1). The verse's translation and interpretation are of major theological significance in developing the concept that God created the universe out of nothing (creation ex nihilo).

The Hebrew Word "et" is not a word at all, but is "Aleph Tav" the First and the last letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, Like Our expression "A TO Z". THE NAME GOD HAS CHOSEN FOR THIS SELF-REVELATION IS "ELOHIM". This is the Plural form of "El" which simply means "GOD". However, the Verb Form for "Created" is SINGULAR.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Heavenly Father, Blessed Are You, Oh LORD, Our God, King of The Universe! You Alone Are Worthy of Worship and Praise. You Alone Are Holy, You Alone Are The Almighty, You Alone Are the One True God! Ancient of Days, Rock of All Ages, El Shaddai, All Sufficient, Our Great Provider and Sovereign Lord, How Excellent is Your Holy Name Over All the Earth! How We Love You, And Bless Your Holy Name.

In the Beginning, God Created the Heavens and the Earth. We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem. We Pray for Our Own Leaders in America, May They Speak Comfort to Jerusalem. May We NOT be Numbered Among Israel's Enemies, God Forbid! We Pray For The American People, May They NOT be Deceived by the Media. May Their Eyes be Opened with regard to God's People Israel.

We pray for an END to Lies, Slander, Blood Libel, Propaganda, and Antisemitism against Your Beloved. We Pray For an End to Slavery, Hostage-Taking, and Piracy wherever it is Practiced Around the World. We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren, Christians and Jews, In Bondage in Hostile lands.

We Plead For Israeli Control Over All the Holy Sites in Israel, so that All Faiths may visit them. We Pray For Bibi Netanyahu, and the Leaders of Israel May They Receive Wisdom from You to do the Right Thing. We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah, Blessed Be He, To Establish His Kingdom, and Make All Things Right.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Jewish and Christian Scholars have differing opinions as to why the Plural "Elohim" is used with a singular verb form.But they are in total agreement that there is Only One God.

Even more intriguing is the "Aleph-Tav" right in the Middle of the Passage. It is the Center word of seven words, and mimics the center candle in the Famous Seven Branch Menorah, which is the Symbol of Israel. The Center Candle (Called the "Shannash" or "Servant") is used to light the other candles in the menorah. This is not the 9-Branch Hanukkah menorah. It is the Menorah that is Designed for use in the Tabernacle and later, in Solomon's Temple."Aleph-Tav" means "A to Z", "The Beginning and the End", "The First and the Last", and, as expressed in Greek in the New Testament, the "Alpha and The Omega".

In the Beginning, God (Aleph-Tav) Created the Heavens and the Earth.

Come and pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Blessings to All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer
